Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Sections 302 and 201 IPC, affirming the trial court's finding of guilt for murder and destruction of evidence. The Court emphasized that the prosecution established the motive and the accused's confession, which was corroborated by the recovery of the deceased's body. The appeal against the High Court's dismissal was rejected, confirming the life sentence and fines imposed by the trial court.
